Of all our contemporary urban myths none is more absurd than the fiction of the classless society, and Morris Panych's latest comedy penetrates ruthlessly to the shock and horror o f the residue of hardened pesto soiling its porcelain heart. Haplessly determined to have his own miserable authority vindicated, chief dishwasher Dressler presides over the steam-choked basement of an upscale restaurant, a place of seamless existential drudgery so utterly remote from the light of day that its wage-slaves have no contact with anyone outside. Spouting an indiscriminate cornucopia of working -class ethic, an interminable babble of pride of craft, Marxist rhetoric and the virtues of individual entrepreneurship as celebrated by And Rand, Dressler tyrannizes his coworkers relentlessly.
